Marriage Certificates

These certificates are from a collection of records given to the Guilford Township Historical Collection. The certificates appear to be the "take-home" copies given to the bride and groom. There is no indication why these certificates were not taken at the time of the marriage. Currently, the list is in GROOM SURNAME order. Surnames A through G have been done. Updates will be added when ready. Dates range between 1860s and 1919. The Collection is stored in DB 103-107 (for staff reference).
